My Family
Welcome!
Thank you for visiting my Wisdom From the Word website. You may have arrived here by accident or have been looking for a place on the web where you can receive Bible-based spiritual encouragement.
No matter how you arrived at my site, know that you are welcome. Let me tell you a little bit more about myself.
My Background
I have had the pleasure of pursuing two different careers in my life. I work in the field of communications technologies. And I also serve as a teacher and preacher of the Word of God.
The best way to describe my life in ministry, I think, would be to say that I am a journeyman. I have served in large and small churches and worked in various leadership positions in the local church.
I was licensed as a Baptist minister in 1994 and ordained in 2007. I have served as a layman and a clergyman in the church for over 30 years. I have never been a senior pastor, but I have often worked closely with senior pastors.
One of the benefits of being a journeyman is that you have opportunities to serve in different environments. I’ve learned that there is more than one way to minister well. I am thankful to the pastors who have shown me that.
I must say that it has been a privilege, and a joy, to serve the Lord in the preaching and teaching ministry. I want you to know that there have been difficult times when I had to struggle.
But these times have only strengthened my walk with the Lord and gave me insight into God’s grace and power that I otherwise would not have.
Writing Ministry
This site represents a new area of ministry that I am pursuing. My first book, Child of God, The Life of a Follower of Christ, has been released by Wipf and Stock Publishers under their Resource Publications imprint. Please consider reading this book.
If you do not know the Lord, I pray that this book opens your eyes to the wonders of His glory and the possibilities the Lord Jesus Christ offers for your life if you choose to follow Him. He stands ready to embrace you and bring you into his family.
For my fellow Christians, I believe that this book will help you understand who you are in Christ and how you can live effectively for Him. As it talks about the challenges we face as Christians, it will help you understand how to use the gifts God has given you to accomplish all God has called you to do in this life.
May God bless you in all you do.
